ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for enhancing template manipulation and creation in a graphical user interface. The user can create numerous additional templates from an existing object, template, or "generic" template. The method includes the computer-implemented steps of positioning a copy of at least one object into a template area pane and creating at least one template in the template area pane from that copied object. The apparatus includes a processor, a display device, pointing device, a template area pane displayed on the display device, at least one object which is positioned into the template area pane. The template area pane creates at least one template from the object and displays that template in the template area pane.
